I think anyone that the Dems want to testify and anyone that the GOP wants to testify should show up and be allowed to fully testify. Simple as that.
the person who heard the conversation testifies friday. there will be a new glib dismissal need then.
No thanks. Ask any Lawyer; there are a lot of folks in Jail after being told by Police, if you have nothing to hide then you will talk with us. Also; perhaps the 6 witnesses the Republicans have requested but been blocked by Democrats should be required to testify also; if there is nothing to hide.
Yes, but GOP reps are on the committee too. Imagine being a normal person who is thrust into this sort of thing. It'd be awful.
The Ukrainian President - the other half of the alleged quid pro quo - has categorically denied any such thing, repeatedly and publicly. You have witnesses testifying on things that they didn’t witness. About conversations that they weren’t party to. You also now have sworn testimony that what he testified as assuming to have occurred, didn’t actually occur. Great Day 1, I guess?
Do you not have a right to face your accuser? He believes in what he’s saying so strongly, but not enough to publicly testify? I just had someone give me private testimony that this is a farcical clown show, and it’s only just begun.
I will go ahead and jump in with the obligatory, "Kill a person on 5th Avenue...", attempted put down.
That anyone would follow Schiff anywhere, for any purpose, is beyond my ability to comprehend. If I’m a red state Democrat, I’m ejecting out of this mess.
The Ukraine president has a lot to lose by saying he felt pressure. He's not going to rock the boat for some scandal which doesn't concern him and which he knows will still end up with him dealing with Trump anyway. Denying is the obvious play for him and he makes sure the funding keeps flowing.
This isn't a trial, that happens in the senate. You do not have a right to face your witnesses while they are submitting statements to the police, right?
So it is your belief that the acting ambassador to Ukraine doesn't know what he is talking about regarding what occurred in negotiations between Ukraine and the US?
So Taylor was to be a "Star" witness; and the guy testifying Friday won't be public. Behind a Star Witness, Democrats Take Their Case to the Public https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/13/us/politics/bill-taylor-impeachment-hearing.html?partner=IFTTT I am hard pressed to see a groundswell of public support for impeachment based upon what I saw today.
